The dreaded 'Check Engine Soon' light came on last night and got it checked by AutoZone today....trouble code: P0180. The Tank Fuel Temperature Sensor is acting up.
I've got a FSM for my truck thanks to rbo1577186 and will be trouble shooting ASAP. My question is does anybody really know what this is for rather than just monitoring? Last time I looked the only things in the tank are the temp. sensor (no idea why), fuel pump and fuel tank gauge. Why monitor the temperature unless you have a system in place to regulate it?
This could just be my hatred of the complicated computerized engines vs. older cars, but I would really like to know if its used for anything at all or if I'm just overlooking the obvious.
Moderators: didn't know if this fell into general tech or newbie tech, if I'm wrong.....sorry
